Ingredients
- Whole wheat tortilla 1 large (71g)
- Turkey breast slices 4 oz (113g)
- Avocado 1/4 medium (50g)
- Lettuce 1 cup (36g)
- Tomato slices 1/2 medium (60g)
Method
-
Prepare the ingredients.
Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly under cold water, then dry them using a salad spinner or paper towels. Slice the tomato into thin rounds. Peel the avocado and cut it into thin slices.
Tip: Make sure the avocado is ripe by gently pressing it; it should give slightly without feeling mushy. -
Lay out the tortilla.
Place the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or plate. This will be your base for assembling the wrap.
Tip: If the tortilla is stiff, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds to make it more pliable. -
Add the turkey slices.
Evenly layer the turkey breast slices over the center of the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space on each side to make rolling easier.
Tip: Use lean turkey breast slices to keep the wrap healthy and low in fat. -
Add the vegetables.
Place the lettuce leaves over the turkey slices, then add the tomato slices evenly on top. Finally, arrange the avocado slices over the veggies.
Tip: Try not to overload the wrap to avoid difficulty when rolling and to prevent it from breaking. -
Roll the wrap.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward about one inch, then start rolling tightly from the bottom up until the wrap is fully enclosed.
Tip: Keep the roll tight but gentle to avoid tearing the tortilla. -
Slice and serve.
Use a sharp knife to cut the wrap diagonally in half for easier eating. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.
Tip: Cutting diagonally creates a nicer presentation and makes the wrap easier to hold.
Pro tips
- To prevent the avocado from browning, squeeze a little lemon or lime juice on the slices before adding them to the wrap.
- If you want extra flavor, add a light spread of mustard or low-fat mayo on the tortilla before layering the ingredients.
